Wrong PIN
You have 3 attempts to enter the PIN in the web interface, before you are asked to enter the PUK
(Pin Unblocking Key). The PUK is supplied with your SIM card.
Enter the PUK followed by a new PIN of your own choice. The PIN must be from 4 to 8 digits long.
If you enter a wrong PUK 10 times, the SIM card will no longer be functional, and you have to
contact your Airtime Provider for a new SIM card.
Registering with the BGAN network
When the SIM PIN is accepted by the terminal, the SAILOR 150 FleetBroadband system
automatically starts the registration procedure on the BGAN network.
You can monitor the registration procedure in two ways.
